BBC News Forced to Apologise to Major for Currie Slur

BBC News at Ten were just forced to issue an on the air apology to Sir John Major. Earlier in the programme they had shown an interview with Labour old fart Lord (Donald) Anderson who said that what Prescott was doing was quite OK since John Major had had an affair while Prime Minister, so the Tories couldn't throw stones. Huw Edwards was forced to apologise, saying that the affair with Edwina Currie had not happened while he was PM.

My point was about the utter incompetence of the BBC that I pay for! How can a news team editing such a serious political issue not know that Major was shagging Currie before he was a cabinet minister?!?
